Commodities not selling at their value doesn't change general laws, just how the value is distributed. <br /><br />"This is another quite absurd aspect of Marxist theory: it claims to identify fundamental processes of capitalism which everyone except the Marxists themselves are blind to."<br /><br />This isn't an argument. If Keplar said "the absence of epicycles is a concept alien to most astronomers" you wouldn't berate him for "identifying processes which everyone but Keplar misunderstands".
